'Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta – clink-clink-clink- clink-clink-' I fired my weapon in the target's direction, yet all the bullets clinked harmlessly against the metal wall, and fell to the ground. I sighed. It was my first time handling any sort of weaponry, unless managing the 'Six Lasers' lasers counted. My eyes wandered to the other Aerialbots, all shooting the living daylights out of their targets; Silverbolt even had to get a new target board for Aqua. I decided to give up, and try using a different weapon. I sulked over to the `Weapons Area' as Silverbolt had dubbed it; and I put down my shotgun and picked up a gun labelled 'Photon Burst Rifle'. A tiny grin tugged the corners of my mouth, when I realized it had a scope. I gingerly inserted my hand into the gun, and it felt perfect. I walked back to the shooting zone, lined up my sight, and fired.
'Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta – chik-chik-chik-chik-chik'. I stared in awe at the five bullets around the bulls-eye of the target.
"Nice shootin' there Quick!" Silverbolt applauded.
"Thank you, sir!" I replied gleefully. Sudennly, I realized it was very quiet. When I looked over a Silverbolt, al the other Aeiralbots were crowding around him. I hurriedly put down the Burst Rifle and scrambled over to them. Silverbolt moved to the front, and began to address us.
"Aerialbots, I am very pleased with your shooting skills, even though it took some of you to get the hang of it," Silverbolt glanced in my direction. "I have decided, well, because we are Aerialbots, we need to do some flight training. And I won't be joining you, because I'm afraid of heights." This was the first time I'd seen Silverbolt look nervous, he always seemed so confident. "Transform into your alt-forms, and do a circuit around the debris up there." Silverbolt pointed up at the big, black sky. "Go!" He boomed. I scrambled to transform, and shot off into the sky.
